摘要: Abstract 1. Lung morphology and its dual function as a hydrostatic gas exchange organ are described for the sea snake, Pelamis platurus . 2. The lung volume is large surface-resting snakes have high positive buoyancy. 3. Prior to diving, buoyancy reduced although remain positively buoyant. 4. With prolonged submergence, neutral or negative attained due compression of with depth removal O 2 from without equivalent replacement CO 5. respiratory functions highly compatible relate well swimming feeding behaviour this snake.
